DAPPER SIEMPRE ROSADO REVIEW – CALIFORNIA
Summary: Lighting up, I'm getting corn flakes and green pepper. Floral notes and chocolate bring some complexity!
Entering the second third, the chocolate leans more "tootsie roll" than dark. While the flavors are enjoyable, I'm not a huge fan of the chewy mouthfeel. Cinnamon.
Flawless construction going into the final third. Coffee. No complaints here.
If You Like That, You Might Like This: Your reliable pair of denim jeans.
Pairing Suggestion: Stout.
Purchase Recommendation to a Friend: Fiver.
DAPPER SIEMPRE ROSADO REVIEW – WISCONSIN
Summary: This cigar brought a plethora of dark flavors: chocolate, spice, earth, toffee, caramel, coffee, and a little bit of cream. As it continued, oaky notes joined in. The caramel and cream notes held the profile together nicely.
The draw and burn were both right on point. No complaints at all on the construction. The flavors were enjoyable but fell a bit short on the 'wow' factor for me, missing out on the box recommendation.
If You Like That, You Might Like This: Chocolate-and-caramel-covered popcorn mix.
Pairing Suggestion: Brandy.
Purchase Recommendation to a Friend: Fiver.
DAPPER SIEMPRE ROSADO REVIEW – OREGON
Summary: A dark and oily wrapper covers up this cigar. It has a sweet, raisin like smell and some baking spice from the wrapper. The cold draw feels perfect offering mild tobacco and hints at the raisin notes.
Out of the gate with roasted coffee beans, a smooth wood note and just a touch of black pepper. Pretty nice overall creaminess to the mix too. The retro hale experience is pretty spicy. Wow. Wood, leather and grilled meat with a beefy paper blast in the sinus.
Shoring up the middle section with some charred wood, leather, more grilled meat and black pepper holding its own. There’s some baking spice in there too...very little, I’m calling it nutmeg.
Finishing with a bold profile built on tobacco notes, strong flavors of wood cycling between fresh and charred, coffee and bitter chocolate. The retro hale is both smooth and peppery, lending some real strength and body to the end of this cigar.
If You Like That, You Might Like This: Maxing out on the bench press.
Pairing Suggestion: Kentucky Bourbon.
Purchase Recommendation to a Friend: Box.
